In sickness and in health
Gibbs strode into the bullpen, coffee in hand. He saw Tony lounging back on his chair, playing, most likely, Tetris. McGee was typing away quickly on his computer. Properly playing that elf lord game, Gibbs thought. He sat down at his desk and looked over to Ziva's desk. He was surprised that she was not there.
"DiNozzo?" Gibbs snapped. Tony fumbled with his phone and quickly sat up.
"yeah boss?" Tony asked.
"Where is, David?" Gibbs asked. Tony glanced up at her desk.
"I'm not sure, Boss," Tony said looking a bit nervous.
"McGee?" Gibbs said. McGee looked up from computer.
"Yeah, boss?" McGee asked.
"Do you know where is, David, is?" Gibbs said, resiting the urge to roll his eyes.
"I-er-dunno boss," McGee said, looking over Ziva's desk, hoping that she would be sitting there.
"Have you called her yet," Gibbs asked.
"er," McGee said. Neither Tony or McGee moved."Well, call her," Gibbs yelled. Tony and McGee quickly scrambled to pick up the phones and begun to dial.
"There will be no need to call, Tony and McGee," floated down a female voice into the bullpen. Tony and McGee slowly turned around, putting their phones backing their cradles.
"why not, Director Sheppard?" Gibbs said, coming round the other side of his desk and looking up.
"Because, Ziva, is doing an undercover mission for me and should be back any moment now," Jenny said. Their voices had risen, due to the distance between them and some people were looking at them.
"Ziva's what?" Gibbs yelled. Many people looked up.
"Agent, Gibbs. We are not having this conversation like this," Jenny said. Gibbs looked as if he wanted to yell something back but just the elevator dinged. McGee, Tony and Gibbs all turned. Tony's and McGee's mouth's open. It was Ziva. She had her hair down in curls and pulled off to one side with a flower in her hair. She was wearing a purple dress that was backless and had long slits that showed off her thighs. Gibbs had to admit too that Ziva did look stunning . She walked passed them and quickly glanced at Gibbs. Tony eyes followed Ziva with every move she made.
"Wow," murmured McGee and Gibbs head slapped the both.
"Thank you, boss," Tony winced.
Ziva walked up the stairs to where Jenny was standing. She was smiling as Ziva reached her. She embraced her and looked her over.
"You did a really good job, Ziva. I'm proud of you," Jenny said warmly. This momentarily stumped Ziva. Jenny was proud of her? Nobody had ever said that they were proud of Ziva David.
"Thank you, Jenny," Ziva said, smiling.
"You got it, yes?" Jenny asked. Ziva smiled.
'I would not of come back without it," Ziva said. Jenny beamed and Ziva handed her a package. It was small and was shaped like a USB stick. Jenny looked it over and Ziva stood close, looking too. Suddenly, Ziva saw a small flashing light.
"Jenny, no," Ziva cried. She grabbed the USB and pushed Jenny away. Ziva took several steps away from Jenny and then it happened.
Gibbs watched as Jenny and Ziva talked. Ziva handed Jenny something small and they looked it over.
"Jenny, no," Ziva suddenly cried. Gibbs eyes widened. Ziva grabbed the package, pushed Jenny and took several steps away before anything happened. Suddenly the thing that Ziva was holding exploded, clouding Ziva in a white dust. Jenny looked horrified and Gibbs stood up on his desk. He whistled loudly.
"Everybody, a white powder has just come out of a package," Gibbs said. "Everyone move to the exists".
Everyone got up and started to walk towards the exits. Jenny and Ziva stood still. Tony was already dialing his phone to call the biohazard team. Gibbs watched as Jenny got up.
"Ziva, are you up with protocol?" Gibbs yelled up to them. Ziva rolled her eyes but nodded.
"Hurry up and get to the showers, Jenny and Ziva," Gibbs yelled and they quickly moved down the stairs. Gibbs, Tony, McGee were already moving towards the exits. They caught one last glimpse of the women before they too left.
